So it all depends on what you need. If you need FIND_LIBRARY to find 
compilable libaries ok, I don't, hence I would prefer something simpler and 
faster.

On my projects I consider it a user error if the library is found by file 
location and doesn't work on compilation (plus I can try-compile if that is 
needed, currently CMake allows you to do both, making FIND_LIBRARY 
try-compile always would remove one of the options).
